RFR: JDK-8303349: Simplify link format for generic types in index pages

Please review a simple change to simplify the format of links to generic types in various JavaDoc index pages. Previously, these included dedicated links for type parameters and bounds, which seems excessive for use in an index. 

Below are before and after screenshots for `Spliterator.ofPrimitive` (which is admittedly an extreme case) and neighboring index entries. Note that now links to generic types match what we do for executables, where the whole signature is used as link label.
